Q* is a strange thing, youtube is full of videos explaining what q* is, but nobody really knows. All those ideas are combinations of reinforcement learning or path finding with language models. It doesn’t sound like something that would be a new idea, but much of the progress in AI has been just based on compute growing.
If there has been a big leap, the thing that worries me most is the new board of open AI and what that means about how they intend to use the power they now hold. We had a board that felt so strongly about something that they acted swiftly to remove Altman and now he is back. The previous board seemed to hold social responsibility and safety as the priority. The new board will have a different outlook based on its members past statements.

Basically, most of the LLM intelligence is at the word-to-word selection level, so friction needs to be created there instead of at the task or question level.
